Pregnant Woman Robbed At Gunpoint While In Labor

A pregnant woman in Maryland was robbed at gunpoint as she went into labor on the street, the New York Daily News reported.

Police said Devery Kelley, 24, and Cornell Robinson, 44, allegedly threatened the mother-to-be with her life on Copeland Street in Annapolis at 4:30 a.m. Sunday.

Right before she was attacked, she was being walked to her car by a man after she began feeling contractions. However, a witness was able to call police, who arrived as Kelley and Robinson fled in a stolen vehicle.

Officers were able to chase the suspects, who eventually dumped the car and ran on foot, ditching a gun as they tried to escape. However, both were eventually caught and the weapon was recovered.

Kelley, of Annapolis, and Robinson, of Washington, D.C., were detained by Annapolis Police. Charges against them are pending.

The victim was taken to Anne Arundel Medical Center but her condition is unknown.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Annapolis Police Department at (410) 268 - 9000.
